Check if requested output is ~

Hi,

Is there a way to check if a requested output is ~ ?

Let's say I have a function:

function [ out1, out2, out3 ] = myFunction( input )

that I am calling from: [ a, ~, b ] = myFunction( c );

Is there a way to see, inside myFunction, that out2 is not requested? I want to only compute requested outputs, that may or may not be the last output (i.e. I cannot use nargout to just count the number of arguments).

Thank you

No.

I would recommend having your function accept an additional input argument that tells you which outputs are filled.

[out1, ~, out2] = fun(x,y,[1 3]) %outputs 1 and 3 requested.
